Killer Joe, the play by Tracy Letts, gives the term "Family values" a whole new meaning. The
entire tale plays out in a Texas trailer park inhabited by Chris, his father Ansel, stepmother
Sharla, and young sister Dottie. When Chris runs into money troubles he comes up with a
gruesome "get-rich-quick-scheme" and enlists the help of his family and a dirty cop to pull it
off. Invariably, Chris runs into more obstacles along the way and winds up making deals that
would even make the devil think twice. Moving swiftly between the humorous and the
grotesque, Killer Joe is a complex black comedy full of appalling behavior and unheard of
situations.
